About Me

I am a picture framer plus an art, music, and nature lover, a hopeful romantic, nostalgic and looking back without dwelling in the past, and a collector of ideas and experiences I have acquired along the way. I recall the trips to the small neighborhood grocery stores from my youth as if they were yesterday. I have many fond memories from that time period in my life and the feeling hasn't subsided as time fades away while new memories are in the making. Everything great that's happened between then and now is for you to find out. If you have ever listened to the lyrics of the song "Time Stand Still" by Rush, that is me. One verse goes, "I let my past go too fast no time to pause, if I could slow it all down like some captain whose ship runs aground. I can wait until the tide comes around." I enjoy the simple things in life and I appreciate every day that God gives. I also enjoy singing and playing acoustic guitar and I have teamed up with an old friend and we are currently playing music gigs wherever we can find work.

My Interests

Art, music, theater, museums, antiques, exploring nature, hiking, photography, remodeling my home, an occasional movie, weekend travel, dining, doing projects around my home, sometimes just chillin'.

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy meeting artists, poets, musicians and any other creative people. I have a picture framing shop in my home and if you have picture framing needs you can get me at [email protected] I have some photos of some of my artwork posted on my profile pics. After all the point of lifes journey is not to arrive and I've yet to meet the love of my life. I will not add you as a friend if you don't at least have the courtesy to write me first. Thanks for stopping by.

Music:

Classic rock, alternative, pop, folk, some blues and jazz, classical. I really enjoy Chicago's own Katie Todd Band and they are good friends of mine. I have been a big fan of Rush since 1977, and I saw them on their 30th. Year Aniversary Tour in Chicago in 2004 and of course their latest 2007 Snakes and Ladders Tour.

Movies:

The Great Escape (original version) w/Steve McQueen, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, A Girl Named Sooner, Ghost, The Flim Flam Man, The Time Machine, War of the Worlds (orignal) and I enjoyed watching Family Classics on WGN in Chicago. There are too many great movies to name them all.

Crossing Jordan, Law & Order, The Three Stooges, Nature shows, History, Antique Road Show, Concert Movies on PBS.

Books:

Ghost Rider by Neil Peart is a favorite of mine.
